Food Waste Reduction Programs
We must do something to address the waste crisis and get ahead of rising costs.
Food scrap recycling is one solution that can save money and reduce trash. Your food scraps will go to a composter or to Quantum Biopower, saving $$ on trash hauling AND creating compost or clean energy.
Learn how to participate, receive an instruction guide, and buy an (optional) inexpensive food scrap kit (includes countertop bin, transport bin, and BPI-certified compostable bags). Find out what's accepted and not accepted, plus frequently asked questions.
